Re: How to connect to sql server 2008 in Qlikview

Could you please give me the details on how to setup the connection to a SQL server 2008 ? From the Edit Script menu in Qlikview I am not too sure where to start, in the Database box there are 2 options ( OLE DB and ODBC ) ...which one should I use ? Do I need to install any special drivers in my laptop ? ( I am just using developer version 8.5 and need to connect to a remote SQL server 2008 ( I know server name, port ( not sure the port number is needed ) and user login crdentials ).

Please advice , I have some experience working with QlikView but just reading from flat files. Connections to a database is totally new for me .

Do you mean I need to install SQL server 2008 in my laptop ? What for ? The database I need to get access from Qlikview is in a remote server in my corporate network . Not sure I understand your advice. Unfortunately I can´t see the picture you attach...it´s too small and the resolution is really poor.
